Full of juicy bright plum, red fruits & soft fine tannins. The medium bodied palate bursts with fresh fruits and finishes with fine savoury tannins and fresh natural Grenache acidity. Shiraz & Mataro provide the palate with soft generous fruit weight & compliment the spice & vibrancy of the Grenache.

Perfumes of forest berries, cherries, plums and spice. This Grenache is medium bodied, with a long even bright palate. This brightness is super silky with spice, violets and plums. A fruit forward style with beautiful complexity. The fruit is destemmed and then whole fruit is transferred to small open fermenters. The fermentation lasts up to 10 days at moderate temperatures. During the fermentation the wine is taken away from the skins and returned over the skins to aid in gentle extraction of the flavours and tannins. A small portion of the wine underwent carbonic maceration adding to the cherry fruit lift. The wine develops in a combination of 8 to 12 year old French and American hogsheads. The Serafino story began in 1964 when Steve (Serafino) Maglieri arrived in Australia from Italy as a passionate teenager full of dreams. Two years later, with the assistance of his father Giovanni, he planted his first vines in McLaren Vale that now extends to 350 acres, laying the foundation of a winemaking dynasty that today is known as Serafino Wines and overseen by his daughter, Maria. From the beginning, Steve and his father worked from dawn to dusk seven days a week to produce wines of such outstanding quality that it wasnt long before the accolades began to flow.

Kalleske Old Vine Grenache, Barossa Valley The Kalleske family makes their Old Vine Grenache in the Barossa Valley, where they have been farming and growing grapes since the 1800s. Yet this old Barossa family have been cited by Max Allen in 2010 as a model for the future of the Barossa. Estate grown, vinified and matured on the Kalleske Greenock estate, the Old Vine Grenache is made from a single vineyard planted in 1935 as bush vines on the Kalleske farm. The shallow sand and light clay ensure that these dry-grown grapes are intensely flavoured fruit.

Black cherry, raspberry, honey nougat, liquorice, and a hint of orange peel on the nose

Kicks off with freshly picked red fruits and a slight earthiness. The palate delivers a wave of raspberry and gentle spice notes complemented by a soft palate weight that makes it eminently drinkable. There’s a brisk acidity on the finish making for a great medium weighted wine that’s suited to a variety of meat dishes.

Grenache is a very versatile variety, it had been wildly used in blending in the past but it is slowly becoming a star variety of its own. Great vines produce firm, rich and complex flavours with a great sense of lingering earthiness on the palate. This Vinos For Chinos Barossa Grenache is strong, bold and most certainly unconventional for this great variety.

The Ethereal One Mclaren Vale Grenache boasts an aromatic and balanced mix of berry notes and oak. Fruity and fresh with a silky tannin, this wine is great for dinner parties or for pairing with your favourite chicken, beef or pork dishes

The family Grenache block on Thiele Road in Bethany are one of the old vines planted in the 40's and still producing fantastic fruit today. Schwarz has dark inky purple colour with a great aromas of sour cherry, ripe dark fruits and a hint of fresh raspberry on the nose. Although not fruit driven, the red fruits characters are lifted with some earthy oak undertone on the palate. Hint of fresh spices with some subtle tannin towards a rather long finish. A bold wine with a difference.
